I've been divorced for four years now, and live alone. While I'm proud of myself for starting completely over, it's been a very tough, lonely road. I've dated, but most haven't lasted a year. Most just last a few months and POOF - that person disappears. I don't know if I'm too clingy or what. My last boyfriend told me my expectations were too high.

Yeah - being with me and being there for me. Hmmmm - too high?

I got used to being married, and now I'm having to deal with everything alone. I'm 40, have no kids, and no prospects on the dating circuit. It is tough, and I can completely empathize with everyone who posted.
